G'Day,

Good examples are always a really good thing, and I think this a really
sensible idea.  The permissive license seems entirely sensible for the
use case you want here.  Per your follow-up, I don't see how it harms
the rest of Samba.  Having it in the tree means we can build it and
ensure it still works. 

The license text itself seems ideal for sample code, is it a standard
license?   I couldn't find this specific text online, but by the same
token I couldn't find any suitable standard license either. 

The only reason I ask is that folks who classify Free Software code for
distributions find it easier if they can just mark it down as 'BSD' or
some other specific, well known tag.  

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
